About this book

Short papers and speeches by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, gathered into one volume of five pieces. Two come from the 1856 report of the British Association and deal with colour. In the first, Maxwell describes a dark spot he saw in the blue part of the spectrum and traces it to the yellow spot of the retina. In the second, he asks why blue and yellow paint make green when blue and yellow light do not, and he credits Helmholtz with the explanation. The rest are a paper on Poinsot's theory, an address and an introductory lecture.
